I have ordered the MSI 770 g45 motherboard and corsair xms3 1600 mhz dual channel Ram with it. I checked the specs of the motherboard in detail and found out it mentions support for 1600mhz (OC) RAM. Please tell me Urgently whether I have made a big mistake or will the RAM run with the mother board. These are the items

Solution
it will work fine with your motherboard and Processor

just OC the RAM when you get it

the mobo might automatically down clock the RAM but if you change teh settings then it will stick

but don't worry it will work

Thanks a lot. SO you are telling me there is nothing I need to worry about?????
 
THe 1600 Ram will work - but you will need to go into your BIOS and set the correct settings ( timings,voltage,speed) - the DDR3 spec is for a top speed of 1333 so all 1600 Ram will usually default to a 1333 setting ( sometimes a 1066 speed depending on the MOBO) and needs to be adjusted in the BIOS to get it to run at the 1600 speed !
